At the beginning of 2016 I had a 650 FICO and my Wife and I had been in our starter house for about 12 years. Today!; Debt is completely under control, 849 top fico, 841 lowest (Come'on one more point), just about all spending earns CC cash back rewards, and a total CL that I'll likely never touch again. We built a new construction Forever home with zero down (thanks VA), what little non-mortgage debt we do have is all at 0%, and we finally have a solid investment portfolio. We're even considering early retirement. Having a good job that pays well plays no small part in this but WOW. The financial education I've had here is far more valuable than my university engineering education. P.S. Over two years in the garden.

Congrats on your progress, these are the type of stories that give me optimism after blowing up my credit 5 years ago. Kudos to you Textret!
